Need Consultation: Medication side effects can cause many really weird things to happen. See your doctor for a review and probable blood test. Grinding and clenching of teeth are not generally caused by medications - it is caused by a muscle dysfunction or not sufficient width in the upper dental arch. A dentist that uses orthopedic appliances and treats TMJ can assist in this.
